45 When restraining order over particular property ends
(1) A restraining order over particular property ends—
(a) if the restraining order stops applying to the property in
accordance with an order under this Act (for example, an
exclusion order); or
(b) if the property is forfeited under this Act—when the property
vests in law in the Territory and the public trustee and guardian
takes control of the property; or
(c) if the property is disposed of by the public trustee and guardian
to satisfy a penalty order; or
(d) when the restraining order ends under this division.
Note On forfeiture, restrained property vests in the Territory. However,
registrable property does not vest in law in the Territory until the
Territory’s interest is registered in the appropriate register. Until then, it
is vested in equity in the Territory (see s 109 and s 110).
(2) To remove any doubt, the ending of a restraining order over particular
property does not affect the operation of the restraining order in
relation to other property restrained under the order.
